20 Tech Words That Are More 'Annoying' Than Sexting

There are a lot of things that annoy me about the Internet, but all the ridiculous lingo is probably No. 1. One second I'm LOLing, then I'm saying OMG, and soon after, I'm wondering who pinged me on Twitter and spammed my inbox. Oy. I get a headache just thinking about.

Computeractive magazine recently singled out the top 10 most horrible tech words in a survey, and "sexting"was voted the most annoying. Sure, that's not my favorite either, but I guess I've grown immune to it. Plus, saying "sexting" is so much quicker than saying "dirty texting," and I'm all for saving time. The runners up in their survey? Intexicated,defriend, and Twittersphere.

Let's be real: when it comes down to it, can we really pick one most annoying tech word? I don't think so. Take a look at these 20 horrible, yet hilarious, tech words that will make you LOL:

2. Moof monster: I think it's best if I use this one in a sentence. "Whoops, sorry I got kicked out of the chat room, the moof monster must have gotten me!" In other words, it's referring to some invisible monster that messes up your web surfing.

3. Hub: A common connection point for devices.

4. Dongle: A device connected to a computer that allows access to wireless networks. Sorry, but I can't help but think R-rated with this one.
